Little Seahorses


For my card today I was determined to do a little more with the background than I have been lately. Funny thing is I had picked a DP with waves that I was excited about using with this underwater beauty and I pretty much covered it all up! I used my scalloped square Nestabilities for the piece under the main image and a Sizzix photo corner die for the corner pieces. They are both covered in stickles and then I added some gems to the corner pieces. The main image is colored with my Copics and the background is colored with Twinkling H2O watercolors.
